ohhh, what an idiot i am. it's a user error, in the form of a typo!
because i have multiple tuners, and there is a race condition for
adapter number assignment when the server gets rebooted, i've had to
create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ to define adapters.
incorrect: 'options dvb_usb_af9015 adapter nr=0,1'
correct: 'options dvb_usb_af9015 adapter_nr=0,1' (note the underscore
between 'adapter' and 'nr')

completely forgot i had configured that!
so, back to a working state! :)
